Sneak Peek: Brian McKnight Gears Up for Chicago

About This Gallery

For members of the press, producers Fran and Barry Weissler hosted a special sneak peek this week of their newest headliner preparing to tackle the role of super-slick lawyer Billy Flynn in Chicago on Broadway, R&B recording star Brian McKnight. Performing with the current Broadway cast, the smoothe, sexy-voiced crooner (who's performed as Billy on tour in Chicago) easily slid into the character's cool, charming demeanor with his numbers from the long-running hit, giving hopeful promise to Mr. McKnight's official Broadway debut at the Ambassador Theatre on October 8.
